贵州省雷公山国家级自然保护区发现海南■繁殖巢

Breeding Nest of Gorsachius magnificus Found in the Leigongshan National Nature Reserve, Guizhou Province

目前,海南■Gorsachius magnificus仅在中国广东省、浙江省、湖北省、广西壮族自治区和越南北部记录到繁殖种群。2019年7-8月在贵州省雷公山国家级自然保护区发现3个海南■巢,至少7只幼鸟。巢简单,近似圆盘。3个巢址均在人烟稀少、生境植被浓密、山林环绕的水域湿地;巢树高大、枝丫多、生长于坡度陡峭位置。该发现为海南■物种保护和繁殖研究提供了基础信息资料。

At present, the reproductive population of Gorsachius magnificus has been recorded only in Guangdong Province, Zhejiang Province, Hubei Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China and northern Vietnam. In July and Angust of 2019, 3 nests of G. magnificus, containing at least 7 young birds, were found in the Leigongshan National Nature Reserve, Guizhou Province. The nests were simple and similar to a disk in shape. The common characteristics of the 3 nest sites were as follows: water wetlands with sparse human population and dense habitat vegetation surrounded by mountain forests;and tall nest trees with many branches grow on steep slopes. This study provides basic information for species conservation and reproduction of G. magnificus.
